When setting metadata of a file that did not exist, no error message was displayed, unlike getting metadata and most other git-annex commands. Fixed this oversight. Note that, if the file exists but is not annexed, there's no error. This is the same behavior as other git-annex commands. This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.

### Please describe the problem.
|
|
This is less of a bug and more of a feature(?) request. Currently, when assigning metadata to a datafile, git annex (v5.20150710-g8fd705) will produce no error or warning message if the file entered does not exist. This can be a tad confusing to users who might expect to see some output if they typed their path wrong. A successful `git annex metadata <filename> -s tags=best` will produce output acknowledging the change, but a failure produces no output at all. A quick check if the file exists, and a `File does not exist` error message if not, would be easy implement and helpful to new users.

We use git-annex for our open-source !FreeSurfer software and find very helpful indeed. Thank you. https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/
